Georges Vallerey swimming pool, Swimming pool in 20th arrondissement, Paris, France.
Georges Vallerey swimming pool is a public facility in the 20th arrondissement of Paris with a 50-meter competition pool featuring movable walls and floors. The flexible design allows different configurations for training, lessons, and competitions in various swimming disciplines.
The building was constructed in 1924 as part of Paris's sports infrastructure from that era. After decades of use, it underwent major modernization work in the late 1980s to improve its structural and technical systems.
The pool is named after French swimmer Georges Vallerey and serves as an important gathering place where generations of Parisians have learned to swim. It functions as a social hub where people of different ages and backgrounds meet regularly.
The location is well served by public transportation and features wheelchair accessibility throughout the building. Visitors should bring comfortable clothing and a swimsuit, and check arrival times in advance since opening hours vary by season and activities.
The pool features a dedicated area for synchronized swimming and water polo events that can accommodate hundreds of spectators during major competitions. This dual function makes it a place where beginners train alongside professional athletes competing under real match conditions.
